Are Your Intuitive Gifts Blocked?


The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #15


Hi Reader,

Have you ever experienced intuitive moments when you just knew something without knowing how?

That intuitive power lives within your sixth chakra, known as the third eye or Ajna.


It's located in the middle of your forehead. The color associated with the third eye chakra is indigo. This chakra houses the energy for ideas, insight, wisdom, and intuition. It’s where you sense psychic activity.

This chakra helps you turn dreams and ideas into a tangible reality by balancing intuition with practical wisdom and clear action.

As we age, this is an area that often has the volume turned up. As we lean into the experiences of our lives and are centered in who we are as women, this energy bubbles to the surface.

Feelings and Emotions

The third eye chakra is where insight and intuition live. It’s about being open to inner wisdom and having the confidence to rely on your own ideas, insights, and intuition without being threatened by other people’s ideas, insights, or intuition.


The sixth chakra relates to seeing both physically and psychically. This is where you get the ‘Big Picture’ view and tap into the collective consciousness.

Our psychic potential is held here. We all have intuitive abilities. Your third eye chakra helps you access and enhance these natural skills, like having clear gut feelings or vivid dreams that provide meaningful guidance.

Connecting deeply with this chakra empowers you to trust yourself more fully, opening doors to clarity and a deeper sense of purpose.

A well-balanced third eye chakra shows up as the ability to release negative thoughts, an open mind, and a sense of knowing, as well as the ability to discern and trust your inner wisdom or intuition.

Blocks in the Third eye Chakra can result in,

Persistent Thoughts of:

· “They” know best

· Wanting what everyone else has

· There is only one way to do things

· What do I know anyway

· How do I know if it’s real or if I’m imagining it

Patterns of Behavior:

· Consistently second-guessing yourself

· Difficulty separating reality from fantasy

· Tunnel vision

· Unable to accept criticism

· Clinging to repetitive patterns or rituals

In many cases, an underactive third eye chakra can show up as persistent feelings of fear, worry, or envy. It also manifests as self-doubt, rigid thinking, superstitious behavior, and/or relying on others to think for you.

The overactive third eye chakra can show up as manipulative behaviors, hypersensitivity, impatience, hypercritical behavior and /or belittling others.

Physical

The third eye chakra balances the brain, nervous system, eyes, nose, and ears. Some of the physical symptoms associated with the third eye chakra are:

· Poor sight

· Learning difficulties

· Insomnia

· Coordination problems

· Hearing problems

· Neurological disorders

· Headaches

· Sinus problems

· Nightmares

Activities to Activate the Third eye Chakra:

· Meditation

· Practice using your intuition

· Star gazing

· Take a psychic development class

· Read psychic phenomena books, or listen to the Telepathy Tapes Podcast

Realigning and Cleansing

If you are experiencing difficulty in any of these areas, focusing on the third eye chakra with your breath and some extra cleansing may be of value(in conjunction with your current plan), getting the energy moving.

When you breathe into the third eye chakra, visualize indigo light infusing the chakra and gently move it, either with your hand or by visualizing it, counterclockwise, then clockwise. Adding the following affirmation:

I release all of my fears, worries, and self-doubt around my ability to tap into my inner guidance accurately.

I allow the flow of inner guidance to bubble to the surface of my consciousness.

I trust that my inner guidance is in perfect alignment with my life purpose and highest good.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

· Am I fearful of following my ‘gut’?

· Do I feel like I rarely have original thoughts?

· Am I unable to easily release anxiety and fearful thoughts?

· Do I live primarily in my imagination with little reality?

If you answered yes to any of the questions, you may have a block in the third eye chakra. You can cleanse and realign the energy in your third eye chakra by doing the cleansing above or any activity that feels right to you.


Your intuitive abilities strengthen with practice. Tune in to the energy of this chakra to help support your practice.



Be Inspired,

Cathy

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #20 Hi Reader, “What if a huge boulder rolled down the hill onto the road in front of us and a bear was hibernating on top of it?” my 8-year-old son excitedly asked as he bounced in his seat. It was a favorite car game, the ‘What If’ game. All of the kids got a turn to spin a fantastical scene, and I had to find a solution. We all got a ton of laughs from that game, and it kept them thoroughly entertained. Fast forward many years, and I see the ‘What If’ game...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #19 Hi Reader, I spent last Sunday at the We Can Do Hard Things book launch with my friend Tawnya. We chatted as we walked around the city (not as much as our norm due to a foot injury I sustained last week). With all of the uncertainty and chaos in the world right now, my energy has not been flowing as smoothly as I’m used to. It's like there’s static in the signal. This has shown up in many ways: timing missteps, a lingering virus, the foot injury mentioned...

The Energy of You Volume XX Issue #18 Hi Reader, I celebrated my 60th birthday a little over a year and a half ago. In the months leading up to it, something shifted—not all at once, but gradually. I kept thinking: This is the beginning of the end. Things are supposed to slow down now. And without realizing it, I started shrinking. A couple of new opportunities came up in my business, but I let them quietly wither. I stopped taking new art classes. I turned down social invitations. Nothing...
